Cristiano Ronaldo and his Juventus were at the Old Trafford last night, where they took on Manchester United in their UEFA Champions League game, that saw the hosts, United losing 1-0 to the Italian side, as the Portuguese forward shared a moment with his former coach, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Although the hosts were fortunate not to have allowed many goals, and also unfortunate not to have scored themselves, but the game aside the return of Ronaldo to his former club, had everything, as Juventus showed too much class, that Manchester United and Jose Mourinho could not cope with on the night.
After the game, Cristiano took to his social media page to share a photo of his coach Sir Alex Ferguson and himself, where he praised the man that brought him to England for his help and advice through out his playing time in England as a Manchester United player.
He put up the photo with this caption:
“A great coach and above all a wonderful man. Taught me so many things inside and outside the pitch. Great to see you in good shape, Boss!”
Sir Alex Ferguson brought Ronaldo to Manchester United from Sporting in 2003, and was instrumental in the forward’s development towards becoming a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
According to SkySports report, Ferguson was watching on at Old Trafford, a month after he made his first appearance at the ground following brain surgery in May, and was pictured with Ronaldo after the Champions League encounter.
Under Ferguson, Ronaldo won three Premier League titles as well as the Champions League in 2008, the same year he won his first Ballon d’Or award.
Ronaldo went on to join Real Madrid in 2009 after scoring 118 goals in 292 games for Ferguson’s United.
